RF Exposure Information (SAR)
This mobile phone meets the government's requirements for exposure to radio waves. This phone is
designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF)
energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. *Tests for SAR are
conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its
highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the
highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below the
maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use
only the poser required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station
antenna, the lower the power output.
The highest SAR value for the model phone as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the ear is
0.89 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.989 W/kg (Body-worn
measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC
requirements.)
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they
all meet the government requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels
evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model phone

For European Community Users
Honeywell complies with Directive 2002/96/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE
COUNCIL of 27 January 2003 on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE).
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Information
This product has required the extraction and use of natural resources for its production. It may contain
hazardous substances that could impact health and the environment, if not properly disposed.
In order to avoid the dissemination of those substances in our environment and to diminish the pressure
on the natural resources, we encourage you to use the appropriate take-back systems for product
disposal. Those systems will reuse or recycle most of the materials of the product you are disposing in a
sound way.
The crossed out wheeled bin symbol informs you that the product should not be disposed of along
with municipal waste and invites you to use the appropriate separate take-back systems for product
disposal.
If you need more information on the collection, reuse, and recycling systems, please contact your local
or regional waste administration.
You may also contact your supplier for more information on the environmental performances of this
product.
Pacemakers, Hearing Aids and Other Electrically Powered Devices
Most manufacturers of medical devices adhere to the IEC 601-1-2 standard. This standard requires
devices to operate properly in an EM Field with a strength of 3V/m over a frequency range of 26 to
1000MHz. The maximum allowable field strength emitted by the Dolphin terminal is 0.3V/m according to
Subpart B of Part 1 of the FCC rules. Therefore, the RF from the Dolphin terminal has no effect on
medical devices that meet the IEC specification.
Hearing AID Compatibility (HAC)
Dolphin (99EX or 9700) has been tested for hearing aid compatibility. This device has an M3 and T3
rating. For additional HAC information, including the HAC rating of this product, please refer to
www.honeywell.com/aidc.
When some wireless devices are used near some hearing devices such as hearing aids and implants
users may detect a buzzing, humming noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this
interference noise, and phones/mobile computers are also vary in the amount of interference they
generate.
M-Rating: Phones rating M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and likely to generate less interference with
hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. M4 is the better /higher of the two ratings.
T- rating: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and likely to be more usable with hearing
device’s telecoil than unrated phones. T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.
1-5
Preliminary Draft 1/19/11
The more immune the hearing aid device is the less likely one is to experience interference noise from
the wireless phone. Hearing aid devices should have ratings similar to those of phones. Adding the rating
of the hearing aid and the phone would determine probable usability:
•
•
Any combined equal to or greater than six offers the best use
Any combined rating equal to 5 considered normal use
This device has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the wireless technologies
that it uses. However, there may be some newer wireless technologies used in this phone that have not
been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to try the different features of this phone
thoroughly and in different locations, using your hearing aid or cochlear implant, to determine if you hear
any interfering noise. Consult your service provider or the manufacturer of this phone for information on
hearing aid compatibility.
Microwaves
The radio in the Dolphin RF terminal operates on the same frequency band as a microwave oven.
Therefore, if you use a microwave within range of the Dolphin RF terminal you may notice
performance degradation in your wireless network. However, both your microwave and your
wireless network will continue to function.

Note: Signals referenced are for a DTE device.
I/O Connector
The I/O connector powers the terminal, charges the main battery, and facilitates communication. All Dolphin peripherals are designed to work exclusively with this connector.
The I/O connector supports RS232 and high speed USB v2.0 communication. For RS232, the maximum communication speed is 115.2 Kbps with seven baud rate settings. For USB, the communication
speed is up to 480 Mbps.
I/O Power Out
The I/O connector also provides power out (to peripheral devices) +5V at 500mA. This means that,
with the proper cable, the terminal can power another device. By default, power out is disabled, but the
5V output may be enabled, see Five Volt Control on page 7-12.

Preliminary Draft 1/19/11
Using the Touch Panel
Honeywell defines proper use of the terminal touch panel as using a screen protector and proper stylus.
Screen protectors maintain the ongoing integrity (i.e., prevent scratching) of the touch panel, which is
why their use is recommended for applications that require a high to medium level of interface with the
touch panel, such as signature capture for proof of delivery.
Honeywell advocates the use of screen protectors on all Dolphin devices. We recommend implementing
a screen protector replacement program to ensure that screen protectors are replaced periodically when
signs of damage/wear are noticeable. For general use, we recommend replacing the screen protector
every thirty (30) days. However, replacement cycles vary according to the average level of touch panel
use in your application.
Replacement screen protectors can be purchased directly from Honeywell. Please contact a Honeywell
sales associate for details.
Honeywell also mandates use of a proper stylus, which is one that has a stylus tip radius of no less than
0.8 mm. Use of the Honeywell stylus included with the terminal is recommended at all times.
Honeywell warranty policy covers wear on the touch panel for the first twelve (12) months if a screen protector is applied and an approved stylus is used for the 12 month duration covered by the warranty.
Installing a Screen Protector
Dolphin terminals ship with a screen protector already installed. You will need to replace the screen protector at regular intervals.
1. After the current screen protector has been removed from the touch panel, clean the touch panel
thoroughly with a clean, non-abrasive, lint-free cloth. Make sure there is no debris on the touch
panel.
2. Align the exposed section of the protector with the bottom edge of the touch panel. Make sure that
the screen protector is flush with each side of the touch panel. To reposition, lift up gently and
reapply.
3. Press the screen protector firmly and carefully across the surface of the touch panel as you peel
away the backing.
4. If necessary, smooth out any air pockets or bumps.
Healthcare Housing
Some configurations of the 99EX terminal are available with an external plastic housing that is designed
to resist the effects of harsh chemicals in a healthcare environment. The plastic is crystalline in nature,
which helps prevent chemicals from seeping through the housing.
Important! The following cleaning solutions have been tested to assure safe cleaning of your terminal’s
disinfectant-ready housing. They are the only solutions approved for use with these
terminals. Damage caused by the use of cleaners other than those listed below may not be
covered by the warranty.

Batteries
There are three types of battery power: the main battery pack installed in the back panel, the backup
battery located inside the terminal and the Real Time Clock (RTC) battery located inside the terminal.
They are designed to work together to prevent data loss when the terminal is in use over long periods.
All batteries must be completely charged before using a Dolphin terminal for the first time!
Note: The RTC battery will preserve the Real Time Clock 60 days after the main battery and internal backup battery
are fully depleted.
Main Battery Pack
We recommend use of Honeywell Li-ion or Li-poly battery packs. Use of any non-Honeywell battery may result
in damage not covered by the warranty.
The standard 3.7 V, 11.3 watt hour Li-poly or extended 3.7 V, 18.5 watt hour Li-ion battery pack is the primary power source for the terminal. The Li-poly and Li-ion battery packs are designed to operate in a
temperature range of -10° to 50°C (14° to 122°F).
Note: Honeywell recommends placing the terminal in Software/Operating System Upgrades (see page 3-17) before
removing the battery cover.
Charging Options
When the main battery pack is installed in the terminal, use one of the following peripherals:
• Dolphin 99EX HomeBase Device (see page 12-1)
• Dolphin 99EX eBase Device (see page 13-1)
• Dolphin 99EX Mobile Base Device (see page 14-1)
• Dolphin 99EX ChargeBase Device (see page 15-1)
• Dolphin 99EX Net Base Device (see page 16-1)
When the main battery pack is not installed in the terminal:
• Place the battery pack in the Dolphin 99EX QuadCharger Device (see page 17-1)
• Place the battery pack in the Auxiliary Battery Well of the Dolphin 99EX HomeBase Device (see page
12-2) or Dolphin 99EX eBase Device (see page 13-1).
Charging Time
The standard 3.7V Li-poly battery pack requires 4.5 hours to charge completely before initial use.
The extended 3.7V Li-ion battery pack requires 6 hours to charge completely before initial use.
Honeywell recommends charging the Dolphin terminal for at least 24 hours prior to initial use to ensure
the internal backup battery is fully charged.
3 - 13
Preliminary Draft 1/19/11
Battery Error Notification
If your terminal displays the following indicators, replace the main battery pack with a Honeywell Li-poly
or Li-ion battery pack.
•
appears in the Title bar at the top of the touch screen.
• The General Notification LED flashes red.
• A Notification appears on the Tile bar at the bottom of the touch screen.
Storing Batteries
To maintain top performance from batteries, avoid storing batteries outside of the following temperature
ranges:
• 14°F to 113°F (-10°C to +45°C) for short term storage of less than one month
• 32°F to 86°F (-0°C to +30°C) for long term storage
Do not store batteries in extremely high humidity. For prolonged storage, do not keep batteries stored in
a charger that is connected to a power source.
Guidelines for Battery Pack Use and Disposal
The following are general guidelines for the safe use and disposal of batteries:
• We recommend use of Honeywell Li-ion or Li-poly battery packs. Use of any non-Honeywell battery
may pose a personal hazard to the user.
• Replace defective batteries immediately; using a defective battery could damage the Dolphin terminal.
• Never throw a used battery in the trash. A battery contains heavy metals and should be recycled
according to local guidelines.
• Do not use a battery in any other manner outside its intended use in Dolphin terminals and peripherals.
• Do not short-circuit a battery or throw it into a fire; it can explode and cause severe personal injury.
• Excessive discharge damages a battery. Recharge the battery when your terminal indicates low battery
power.
• If you observe that the Honeywell battery supplied is physically damaged, please send it to Honeywell
International Inc. or an authorized service center for inspection. Refer to the Product Service and
Repair section of this guide.
• Although your battery can be recharged many times, the battery life is limited. Replace it after the
battery is unable to hold an adequate charge.
• If you are not sure the battery or charger is working properly, send it to Honeywell International or an
authorized service center for inspection.
Internal Backup Battery
Located inside the terminal, the backup battery is a 3.6 Volt nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery.
The internal backup battery prevents the terminal from being reset if you need to remove and replace the
main battery pack. It retains RAM data. If the terminal is left without the main battery pack for more than
30 minutes, the internal backup battery needs to be recharged to function according to its specifications.
Note: Data and programs stored in Flash memory are not lost even if the internal backup battery fails.
3 - 14
Preliminary Draft 1/19/11
Charging
The internal backup batteries are powered by the main battery pack. Therefore, charging the internal
backup batteries require that the main battery pack be installed in the terminal and the terminal be connected to a charging device.
Note: Honeywell recommends placing the terminal in Software/Operating System Upgrades (see page 3-17) before
removing the battery cover.
The internal backup battery must be fully charged before using the terminal for the first time. Honeywell
recommends charging the Dolphin terminal for at least 24 hours prior to initial use to ensure the internal
backup battery is fully charged. After that, if the internal backup battery becomes fully discharged of
power, it requires a minimum of 30 hours of charging time to function normally.
Guidelines for Use
Follow these guidelines to maximize the life of the internal backup battery:
• Keep a charged Li-ion or Li-poly battery pack in the terminal; the backup battery prematurely
discharges if there is not at least a partially charged battery in the terminal.
• Keep the terminal connected to power when the terminal is not in use.
Managing Battery Power
Letting the backup battery become fully discharged causes the terminal to lose all data in RAM. Honeywell recommends, you keep a charged battery pack in the terminal at all times to help prevent data loss.
The internal battery discharges prematurely if there is not at least a partially charged battery in the terminal. When you remove a battery pack, insert another charged battery pack in the terminal immediately.
Default Critical and Low Battery Points
When the terminal is running on battery power (as opposed to external power), warnings are displayed
when the battery reaches critical and low battery points. The warning points are determined by the following registry entry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Power]
There are two DWORD values in this registry entry: MedState and LowState.
The default values for these entries are as follows:
MedState=25%
This sets the Low Battery point to 25%. When the battery hits the percentage charge specified
here, the user is notified.
LowState=10%
This sets the Critical Battery point to 10%. When the battery hits the percentage charge
specified here, the user is notified.
Note: Warnings do not appear when the terminal is on external power.
3 - 15
Preliminary Draft 1/19/11

Decoding
The terminal supports two types of image decoding for use in various bar code reading and imaging
applications: full-area imaging and Advanced Linear Decoding (ALD).
Full-Area Imaging
Full-area imaging provides omni-directional reading of linear and non-linear 1D and 2D bar codes, OCR,
signature capture, and picture taking. When reading all bar code types using full-area imaging, a positive
read can be obtained from many positions; see Aiming Options on page 4-4. To achieve the best read,
the aiming beam should be centered horizontally across the bar code.
ALD
ALD provides fast reading of linear and stacked linear bar codes. To achieve a positive read when reading linear 1D and PDF417 bar codes, the green aiming beam should be centered horizontally across the
bar code. When ALD is enabled, the reader does not read matrix or postal codes.
To Decode a Bar Code
The aiming beam should be oriented in line with the bar code to achieve optimal decoding. A range
of 4-10 inches (10-25 cm) from the bar code is recommended.
1. Tap
> Demos
> Scan Demo
2. Point the Dolphin terminal at the bar code.
3. Project the aiming beam or pattern by pressing and holding the SCAN key
SCAN
4. The scan LED lights red.
5. Center the aiming beam over the bar code; see Aiming Options on page 4-4.
6. When the bar code is successfully decoded, the decode LED lights green and the terminal beeps.
7. The bar code information is entered into the application in use.
Aiming Options
The aiming beams are smaller when the terminal is held closer to the code and larger when it is farther
from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to the unit
whereas symbologies with larger bars or elements (mil size) should be read farther from the unit.

Capturing Images
The image-capture process is an intuitive, split-second operation for experienced users. By following the
basic guidelines, new users can easily develop their own technique and, with practice, quickly learn to
adapt it to different application environments.
Image Preview
When the imaging process is initiated, the touch screen displays a preview of the object. This is a live
video image of what the imager is currently viewing. The live video image has a slightly degraded
appearance compared to the captured image. This is normal.
Scan Key
On all 99EX terminals, the SCAN key captures images.
File Formats
File formats supported for image storage include Bitmap (BMP), JPEG (JPG) and Portable Network
Graphics (PNG). The default file format for images is a grayscale JPG.
Compression
Digital images have a maximum image size of 640 x 480 pixels and may have up to a 256 grayscale
image definition.
The image quality and related file size are determined by the data compression method used by the software application used to take images. The average size of the image file is approximately 4–8K. However, the size of the image depends on the content of the image - the more complex the content, the
larger the file size.
Taking an Image
The following steps are basic guidelines for taking images:
1. Tap
> Demos > Imaging Demo
2. Point the Dolphin terminal at the object.
3. To preview the image, press and hold the SCAN key
SCAN
4. The touch screen displays a preview of the object, and the decode and scan LEDs light red.
5. Adjust the terminal’s position until the object appears on the screen the way you want it to appear in
the image.
6. Hold the terminal still and release the SCAN key. The scan and decode LEDs flash red, the screen
flashes, and the captured image appears on the screen.

Communication
To synchronize data between the terminal and the workstation, ActiveSync (version 4.5 or higher) or
Windows Mobile Device Center must be installed and configured for the appropriate communication type
on the host workstation and the Dolphin terminal.
Dolphin terminals ship with ActiveSync already installed. Therefore, if ActiveSync is already installed on
the host workstation, you just need to connect the Dolphin terminal to the host workstation (via Dolphin
peripheral) to initiate communication.
If ActiveSync 4.5 or higher is not installed on the host workstation, you can download and install the most
current version of Activehttp://www.microsoft.com/ from www.microsoft.com.
Note: ActiveSync on your Dolphin terminal works with Windows Mobile Device Center on host workstations running
Windows Vista or Windows 7 and with ActiveSync on host workstations running Windows XP. For detailed
information on ActiveSync and WMDC visit Microsoft's Windows Mobile Web site.
When communicating via ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center, your terminal is designed to be
connected to the host workstation with a communication peripheral sold/manufactured by Honeywell, such as
the charge/communication cable. Use of any peripheral not sold/manufactured by Honeywell may cause
damage not covered by the warranty.
Capabilities
• Back up and restore your device data.
• Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your device and workstation.
• Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization mode. For example, you can
synchronize continually while connected to your workstation or only when you choose the synchronize
command.
• Select which information types are synchronized, controling how much data is synchronized. For
example, you can choose how many weeks of past appointments you want synchronized.
Communication Types
The Dolphin terminal supports the following types of communication via ActiveSync through its I/O
Connector (see page 3-11) on the bottom panel:
USB
The USB cable and hardware peripherals allow the terminal to communicate with a workstation or
to networked through a USB hub. The Dolphin terminal supports high-speed USB communication
(USB 2.0); maximum data transfer rate is 480 Mbps. The Dolphin terminal defaults to USB
communication out of the box.
RS232
The RS232 cable allows the terminal to communicate with a workstation, modem, or any RS232
device. Maximum data transfer rate is 115 Kbps.
Hardware Requirements for Setup
•
•
•
•
Dolphin communication peripheral or cable
Dolphin power cable from Honeywell
USB cable (for USB communication)
Serial cable (for RS232 communication)
Software Requirements for Communication
• To synchronize successfully, ActiveSync (v4.5 or higher) or Windows Mobile Device Center must be
configured for same communication type on both the host workstation and the Dolphin terminal.

Preliminary Draft 1/19/11
Working with Wireless Wide AreaNetworking (WWAN)
Overview
The Dolphin 99EX terminal can be configured with an integrated, embedded GSM/UMTS/GPRS/EDGE
penta-band radio module for WWAN communication.
GSM
Short for Global System for Mobile communications, GSM is an open, non-proprietary wireless
WAN system that is constantly evolving and growing.
HSPA+
Short for High-Speed Download Packet Access, HSPA+ is a non-voice value added service that
allows packet-switched data to be instantly sent and received across mobile telephone networks.
UMTS
Short for Universal Mobile Telecommunications System, UMTS is a non-voice value added service
that allows packet-switched data to be instantly sent and received across mobile telephone
networks.
GPRS
Short for General Packet Radio Service, GPRS is a non-voice value added service that allows
packet-switched data to be instantly sent and received across mobile telephone networks.
EDGE
E-GPRS is a non-voice value added service that allows packet-switched data to be instantly sent
and received across mobile telephone networks at a higher data rate than standard GPRS.
Requirements
Using GSM/HSPA+/UMTS/GPRS/EDGE requires a:
• Network subscription to a GSM/HSPA+/UMTS/GPRS/EDGE network (you need to know what service
providers are in your geographic area), and
• An installed SIM card that has been activated by the network service provider (see SIM Card
Installation on page 9-3).
Penta Band Antenna
The GSM radio features an internal antenna that is optimized for power output and receiver sensitivity.
This is an omni-directional antenna.
For the HC-25 radio, there is a unified penta-band antenna that supports 850/900/1800/1900 (GSM/
GPRS/EDGE) and 850/1900/2100 (HSPA+/UMTS) MHz for obtaining GSM service worldwide.
Signal Strength
The signal strength of the GSM connection is indicated by the number of bars that appear in the signal
strength icon in the Title bar at the top of the window.

Working with GPS
Overview
The Dolphin 99EX terminal contains an integrated GPS module that allows location tracking of workers
and vehicles, providing better utilization of field assets. Optional mapping and navigation software provides turn-by-turn driving directions and location information.
Assisted GPS Support
The operating system software does not inhibit nor explicitly support assisted GPS modes, which usually
requires installing a vendor-specific client on the terminal that communicates with the GPS module. This
client would then provide the almanac and/or ephemeris data for warm or hot start modes of operation,
allowing a lower time to first fix (TTFS). The Client must be configured on the terminal, active, and provide the data to the GPS module through the standard COM port.
Powering the GPS Module
The GPS module powers on automatically when accessed by a software application and powers off
automatically when that software application closes. You cannot manually power on and off the GPS
module.
Communication Ports
There are two ways to access the GPS module: through the actual COM port (COM7) or the GPS Intermediate Driver. The method you use depends on the software application you are using. If the software
application requires the actual COM Port, set the operating system to use COM7. If the software application requires the GPS Intermediate Driver, set the operating system to use the GPS Intermediate Driver.
Selecting the Port
1. Tap
> Settings > System > External GPS.
2. In the GPS program port: drop-down list, select COM7 or GPD1 (the GPS Intermediate Driver) as
required by the application.

Preliminary Draft 1/19/11
3. Tap OK to save.
COM7
COM Port 7 can be set to the following baud rates:
• 4800
• 9600 (This is the default baud rate and recommended for optimal GPS functioning.)
• 19200
• 38400
Other baud rates are not possible. The baud rate selected on COM7 is the actual baud rate with which
the GPS will be communicating.
GPS Intermediate Driver
When the first user of GPD1 opens the port, the GPS Intermediate Driver in turn opens port COM7. The
GPS Intermediate Driver allows multiple applications to open GPD1, and the GPS data is broadcast to
all open ports.
When the GPSID driver is in use, the COM7 port is allocated to GPSID as READ|WRITE (COM7 is still
available for access mode of 0).
For more information about Microsoft’s GPS Intermediate Driver, follow this link:

Dolphin 99EXHomeBase Device
Overview
As the hub of your Dolphin system, the Dolphin 99EX HomeBase charging and communication cradle
supports both RS232 and USB communications, which make it able to interface with the majority of
PC-based enterprise systems.
Charge Time
The base completes a full charge of the main battery pack installed in the terminal seated in the terminal
well in 4.5 hours for the standard 3.7V battery or 6 hours for the extended 3.7V battery. The base completes a full charge of the battery pack in the Auxiliary Battery Well (see page 12-2) in 4.5 hours for the
standard 3.7V battery or 6 hours for the extended 3.7V battery.
Charging Process
The base also provides power to the intelligent battery charging system in all Dolphin terminals that
senses when a full charge has been achieved and switches to a trickle charge to maintain the full
charge.
Communications
Reliable data communications at speeds of up to 115K baud can be transmitted by the base through the
RS232 serial port. Using the high-Speed USB port, the data transmission rate goes up to 480 Mbps.
These bases cannot be physically connected to each other - sometimes referred to as “daisy-chained”.
Convenient Storage
The intelligent battery charging system makes this base a safe and convenient storage receptacle for
your Dolphin terminal.
Capacity
The base holds one terminal and features an auxiliary battery well behind the terminal well that can
charge a battery pack independently of the terminal well. This means that one base can charge two battery packs: the one installed in the terminal and a spare.
We recommend use of Honeywell Li-ion or Li-poly battery packs. Use of any non-Honeywell battery may result
in damage not covered by the warranty.
We recommend use of Honeywell peripherals, power cables, and power adapters. Use of any non-Honeywell
peripherals, cables, or power adapters may cause damage not covered by the warranty.

The Dolphin terminal is usually auto-detected and configured by ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device
Center based on the communication cable. The synchronization software automatically sets up an
RS232 connection when you are using an RS232 cable.
For more details, see Communication on page 8-8.
RS232 Communication Cables
Connect the base to the host workstation or other device by plugging an RS232 serial cable into the
RS232 Communications Port on the bottom of the base. Plug the other end of the RS232 serial cable
into the correct port on the host RS232 device. The wiring of your cable depends on whether the other
device is set up as a Data Communications Equipment (DCE) or Data Terminal Equipment (DTE)
device.
The Communication Port is configured as a DCE device. To communicate with a DTE device such as a
workstation, use a standard (or straight-through) RS232 cable. To communicate with a DCE device, use
either a null modem adapter in line with a standard RS232 cable, or a null-modem serial cable.
You can make your own cables by following the pin configuration in the chart that follows. To do so, you
must determine if your host RS232 device is 9-pin or 25-pin, and whether it is configured as a DCE or
DTE device.

illuminates orange indicating a properly seated terminal.
5. By default, the DHCP server assigns a unique IP address to each of the Dolphin terminals docked in
the Net Rack. This IP address can be used by any application on the Dolphin terminal.
Note: Instead of using the default for DHCP assigned IP addresses, the Dolphin terminal can use a statically
assigned IP address. See standard Microsoft Windows Mobile documentation for how to assign a static IP
address to a network adapter. In this case, set a static IP address for the adapter named "SMSC9500 USB2.0
FAST Ethernet Drive".
Mounting the Rack
Mount the rack on a dry, stable surface, near an electrical outlet. Be sure to provide enough workspace
with good lighting for the user to view Dolphin terminal’s LEDs while it is in the rack. When choosing a
location, bear in mind that the mounting location must allow users easy access to the terminal wells, the
Ethernet port (Net Rack only), and the power jack.

in materials and workmanship and to conform to HII’s published specifications applicable to the products
purchased at the time of shipment. This warranty does not cover any HII product which is (i) improperly
installed or used; (ii) damaged by accident or negligence, including failure to follow the proper
maintenance, service, and cleaning schedule; or (iii) damaged as a result of (A) modification or alteration
by the purchaser or other party, (B) excessive voltage or current supplied to or drawn from the interface
connections, (C) static electricity or electro-static discharge, (D) operation under conditions beyond the
specified operating parameters, or (E) repair or service of the product by anyone other than HII or its
authorized representatives.
This warranty shall extend from the time of shipment for the duration published by HII for the product at
the time of purchase ("Warranty Period"). Any defective product must be returned (at purchaser’s
expense) during the Warranty Period to HII factory or authorized service center for inspection. No product
will be accepted by HII without a Return Materials Authorization, which may be obtained by contacting
HII. In the event that the product is returned to HII or its authorized service center within the Warranty
Period and HII determines to its satisfaction that the product is defective due to defects in materials or
workmanship, HII, at its sole option, will either repair or replace the product without charge, except for
return shipping to HII.
EXCEPT AS MAY BE OTHERWISE PROVIDED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE FOREGOING
WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER COVENANTS OR WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESSED OR

CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, AND, IN NO EVENT, SHALL ANY LIABILITY OF HII ARISING IN
CONNECTION WITH ANY PRODUCT SOLD HEREUNDER (WHETHER SUCH LIABILITY ARISES
FROM A CLAIM BASED ON CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) EXCEED THE
ACTUAL AMOUNT PAID TO HII FOR THE PRODUCT. THESE LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY SHALL
REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT EVEN WHEN HII MAY HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH INJURIES, LOSSES, OR DAMAGES. SOME STATES, PROVINCES, OR
COUNTRIES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATIONS OF INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO
YOU.
All provisions of this Limited Warranty are separate and severable, which means that if any provision is
held invalid and unenforceable, such determination shall not affect the validity of enforceability of the
other provisions hereof. Use of any peripherals not provided by the manufacturer may result in damage
not covered by this warranty. This includes but is not limited to: cables, power supplies, cradles, and
docking stations. HII extends these warranties only to the first end-users of the products. These
